Door’s window
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing power
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the power window when closing a
power window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds.
WARNINGl If the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the power window is fully closed.
This allows the power window to close
completely. Therefore be especially care-
ful that no fingers are trapped in the pow-
er window.
NOTE
l The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the power window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trap-
ped hand or head.
l If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the power window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. Repeatedly raise the appropriate power
window switch until that power window has
been fully closed. Following this, release the
switch, raise the switch once again and hold
it in this condition for at least one second,
then release it. You should now be able to op-
erate the power window in the normal fashion.

If a hand or head is trapped in the closing rear re-
tractable power window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the rear retractable power window
when closing a rear retractable power window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds.WARNINGl If the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the rear retractable power window is
fully closed. This allows the rear retracta-
ble power window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the rear retractable
power window.
NOTE
l The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the rear retractable power window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to
that caused by a trapped hand or head.

Seat adjustmentE00400300200
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children.
In a collision, people or children riding un-
restrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.WARNINGl To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
l When sliding or reclining the seat rear-
ward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers. (Double cab and Club
cab)Front seat E0400400012To adjust forward or backward E00400500475

When the lever or pedal is used, the seatback will
tilt forward and at the same time the entire seat will
move forward. To return the seat, slide the entire
seat rearward and then raise the seatback rearward
to lock the seat in position.WARNINGl Do not drive the vehicle with the seatback
folded forward. The seat is not retained
position if it is not kept in an upright posi-
tion, so serious injuries could be suffered
in the event of hard braking or a collision.CAUTIONl The reclining mechanism of the seatback
is spring loaded, causing it to return to
the vertical position when the lock lever
is operated. When using the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand.
l Use a foot to operate the pedal (2).Folding the seatback forward (Single
cab, passenger’s seat)* E00410400031

The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the
heater is on.
CAUTIONl Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.): • Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol
or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or-
ganic solvents; these might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater ele-
ment.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use.

Head restraintsE00403300995WARNINGlDriving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the centre
of the restraint is as close as possible to eye level to
reduce the chances of injury in the event of colli-
sion. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their seated eye level, should adjust the restraint as
high as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er the restraint, move it downward while pushing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint
downward and make sure that it is locked.
To remove
Lift the head restraint with the height adjusting
knob (A) pushed in.
To install
Confirm that the head restraint is facing the correct
direction, and then insert it into the seatback while
pressing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow.CAUTIONl Confirm that the height adjusting knob
(A) is correctly adjusted as shown in the
illustration, and also lift the head re-
straints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.
